~. J. H." ought to know enough to know that
scribblers. We have published this fact before
about seven thousand times, and we are getting
tired.
This week the County Commissioners grant
ed permission to Messrs. Joshua REGISTER & Sons
to lay water pipes Eleventh street. from the in
tersecton of Eastern avenue to their foundry, with
the understanding that the bed of the street he
placed in as good condition as it was before the
pipes were laid.
Mr.. William E. Greenfield, Towsontown
boy who learned the printing business here and
afterwards secured position in the Government
printing Office at Washington, was one of the
graduates at the annual commencement of the
Georgetown University School of Law, which took
place on I'd instant.
"A gentleman who owns fine farm at Finks-
burg, Carroll county, and who formerly resided
near Towsontown, lately advertised his property
in The UNION for rent. Under date of May 30th
he writes us and says 81 had twenty seven appf-
cants to rent my farm, all of whom had noticed
the advertisement in your paper"
The soldiers graves in st. Mary's Gene
terry, Hampden, were decorated on Monday by
Dushane Post, in the presence of an immense con-
course of people, Several secret societies and
Sunday schools joined in the parade, which was
one of the most imposing ever seen in Woodbury..
Rev. j. L. Kilgore delivered the GRAFTON.
"A frst-class moving machine can now be
bought for $45, when only few years ago they
cost about three times that amount. The i'm
proved self binders can now be bought for less
than the ordinary mower cost two or three years
ago. If the manufacturers can make profit at
present prices, what must they have made then?
County policeman Bowersox, who arrested
the colored man Williams, who assaulted Mrs.
Ridley in the Park, is one of the best officers on
the force and deserves much credit for his prompt
action in that matter. He is always alert and
faithful in the discharge of his duties and is never
seen loafing around drinking places. 1t would
be well if his example were followed by others.
Mr.. Horace c. Thompson, son of DIR. VIM.
S. Thompson, of the Sth district, Baltimore coun-
ty, will be married Wednesday, June Sth, to Miss
Hattie Edwards VOse, daughter of Mr.. S. M. Vose,
of South Attleboro, Massachusetts. Theceremony
will take place at the residence of the BRIDE Red
Rock Valley Farm, South Atteboro. Mr.. Thomp-
son has been residing in Massachusetts, for several
years.
Residents of the Belt have lately been very
much annoyed by mean thieves who prowl around
at night and steal flowers from the front yards.
Not content with taking the flowers only, they
pull up the plants and carry them away, one gen.
tleman having lost all his newly planted rose
bushes. The county police should pay particular
attention to these scamps and Put stop to their
little game.
"A Towsontown man went out after frogs
the other day, taking cat-ride with him. He
did not see any frogs and amused himself shoot
ing at knot on the limb of tree ten feet above
the water. In walking around the pond after
wards he picked up frog that had just been kill
ed and on examining it found bullet hole through
its head. He thinks ball glanced from the knot
and killed the frog.
The authorities of the Maryland Central
railroad appear to care very little for their Tow
sontown patrons, as no effort whatever is made to
provide for their comfort The station here is
simply mean little pen, with no comforts what
ever-not even enough seats to accommodate pas
sengers-and we are not surprised at the constant
complaints that are being made. Towsontown is
one of the best stations on the road, yet the peo
pie are not thought worthy of having even decent
accommodations. This is fact, but we are at
loss to explain the cause.
A Pretty June wedding.-Mr. John F.
Anderson, son of Mr.. James M. Anderson, a well

Conner, of Havre-de- Grace, and granddaughter of

residence of the bride, in Towsontown, and was at
tended by about two hundred of the relatives and
friends of the young couple. The house was

where Harris, the well known Baltimore caterer,
